Studies in a wide variety of organisms have produced a general model for the induction
of apoptosis in which multiple signaling pathways lead ultimately to activation of
the caspase family of proteases. Once activated, these ...

Association studies of quantitative traits have often relied on methods in which a
normal distribution of the trait is assumed. However, quantitative phenotypes from
complex human diseases are often censored, highly skewed, ...

We believe that names have a powerful influence on the experiments we do and the way
in which we think. For this reason, and in the light of new evidence about the function

of living to age 75) for normal-weight, overweight, and obese weight groups to examine
whether individuals are internalizing information ...

Exposing individuals to an isolated component (a prime) of a prior event alleviates
its forgetting. Two experiments with 120 human infants between 3 and 18 months of
age determined the minimum duration of a prime that can ...

Amnesia typically results from trauma to the medial temporal regions that coordinate
activation among the disparate areas of cortex that represent the information that
make up autobiographical memories. We proposed that ...
